Chapter 109: Zen
Lu Zi'an took a cup of tea and sat from a distance to watch him evenly burn off the decay, and then use a wire brush and copper brush to brush off the charred parts, burrs, troughs, holes and other residual skin with large changes.
Obviously, Bai Shuhang did not do much of this, and the root material after spraying and burning was purified with a brush without harming the wood texture at all.
Then Bai Shuhang picked up the flat chisel, and directly looked at the scattered roots of the tree above, and the originally smooth and lovely roots and branches were suddenly broken several times.
Shen Mange next to him couldn't sit still: "Brother Zi'an, is it okay for him to cut it all off?"
"It's fine. Lu Zi'an took a sip of tea on the ground: "You see, he is measured, and what he cuts off are uncontrollable roots and branches." ”
Shen Mange sighed and handed over half of the pomegranate: "Do you eat pomegranates?"
Page 18 of the Dafa of Flirting with the Han: Share what you are eating with him, and when he reaches out to take it, he will look at you and thank you gently, and what you have to do is to smile gently, and make him feel like a spring breeze.
She posed and her eyes were ready, but Lu Zi'an didn't reply: "Oh, thank you." ”
Then he just took the whole thing......
The whole is ...... Took it......
Shen Mange stared at the empty palm, deeply suspecting that he was hallucinating.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zi'an saw her outstretched hand out of the corner of his eye, thinking that she was reluctant, so he stuffed the other half of the pomegranate on the table into her hand: "This is still half." ”
"Oh. Shen Mange ate one blankly, phew, it's really astringent.
Lu Zi'an watched Bai Shuhang cut the root wood while eating pomegranates, and it could be seen that Bai Shuhang gradually found his senses.
His carving style is very heavy, just like his person, not verbose at all, very simple and clear, this character perfectly complements his less refined knife skills.
Unlike Bai Zihang, he does not seek perfection, he does what he wants, and highlights the theme of God on the basis of type.
If this one is broken, he will change it to another one, and cut off the broken one by one, and cut off the broken one by one, and there will be no trace of its original existence at all after a few cuts.
At this time, you can see the results of last night's all-nighter, and he is used to smoothing out the corners, and he can smooth the edges and corners without thinking.
His creation is very bold, the roots have unnatural erosions, and he doesn't think to fill them, at most polish them smoother.
Lu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction, got up and walked over.
At this time, Bai Shuhang had basically finished, and looked up at him with some hesitation: "Master Lu, that's it...... There's a little space up there, do you want to get a few flowers?"
"No, you don't. Lu Zi'an looked at the withered branch and was very satisfied, and reprimanded when he heard the words: "A work that is simple and does not drag mud and water, has fully expressed its spirit, rhyme, and beauty, why do you want to paint snakes to add feet?
Bai Shuhang scratched his head and smiled: "Actually, I also think it's good, but I feel like it's a little bit spacey." ”
"Not empty. Lu Zi'an nodded his chin at him: "Clean the bottom well and make it into a base." ”
The Zodiac is very important and indispensable for the works of art of Gendiao.
A good base can not only support the theme work, achieve stability and coordination, highlight the theme to highlight the viewing effect of the work, but also serve as an auxiliary for rendering the furnishing environment, so that the viewer can have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the work from the best perspective.
And Bai Shuhang's work itself already has a base and support points, and adding a seat will be chaotic and disorganized, which will affect the effect, so you can directly make the lower end into a base.
Bai Shuhang wrinkled his brows, thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to carve it, and finally went down, flattened the bottom surface, and cut a small section of it into a cylinder, if you don't look carefully, you will really think that this is an old stump.
Not only does it look neat, but this semi-realistic approach makes people feel like this is an old stump.
"Is this okay?" Bai Shuhang looked at Lu Zi'an uneasily.
"Yes. Lu Zi'an looked at it from a few angles and pointed to the root on the far left: "This one is also cut off, it's too much, and then polish it." ”
If you cut it again, it will really become a bare tree pole......
But Bai Shuhang didn't dare to refute, and honestly cut off the root.
Just as he was about to polish, Shen Mange raised his voice and said, "Let's eat first, don't be in a hurry for this moment." ”
Bai Shuhang was still talking about the root carving when he was eating, and he went back to polish the whole work after a few bites.
He very carefully cut the cut of the root material, and polished it with a knife file, coarse and fine sandpaper.
After polishing, the chisel knife marks are gradually unified and harmonious with the texture and tone of the overall root material, achieving a natural transition and flowing water, highlighting nature and restoring to nature, full of interest.
When he finishes polishing everything, the whole work is shiny from the inside out, and the color is very soft.
Lu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”
Bai Shuhang also felt that this was his most successful work, but he was still a little panicked: "This, is this really okay?"
"Don't be cowardly, it's really possible. Lu Zi'an sat down on the sofa: "Have you thought of its name?"
Name......
Bai Shu patted the sawdust on his body and thought for a while: "Or call it ...... Southland?"
The name is taken from Wang Wei's "Acacia": red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely.
The root material is red bean wood, which is also a very appropriate name.
But Lu Zi'an frowned and shook his head: "It's not accurate enough, this name can only be considered medium." ”
Bai Shuhang was entangled: "Uh, my language level can only go here......"
After staring at the withered branch for a long time, Lu Zi'an groaned: "Or it's called ...... Let's wait for the spring to return. ”
When spring returns, Bai Shuhang was stunned, and slowly turned his head to look at the root carving seriously.
This work belongs to the ornamental abstract art of withered branches, the roots of the tree are carved into vigorous branches, and the bare branches stretch tenaciously upwards.
The curved and staggered branches are all tilted to the left, as if they are resisting the howling cold wind, creating a strong visual tension, showing the kind of silent and somewhat cruel beauty of a beautiful life when it disappears.
Mourning and silence are a kind of Zen, but the meaning is ineffable.
Such a cruel artistic conception, but it has a beautiful and hopeful name, waiting for the spring to return.
The lovesickness of the united red bean wood makes people can't help but think of a person waiting in the cold wind, although the time is unbearable, but there is hope in the heart, just wait for the spring breeze to come, everything recovers, he can wait for the return of the lover, blooming into a cluster of flowers and branches!
Bai Shuhang felt that it was a little difficult for him to breathe, and he stared at the dead branches of the tree stupidly, and the tip of his nose was sour.
It is said to be a root carving, but how similar is this artistic conception to the Bai family today?
They are suffering in the bitter cold, and when the flowers bloom in spring, they will soar to the sky and restore the glory of the former woodcarving family!
"Okay!" Bai Shuhang felt the blood surging in his heart, and slapped it on the coffee table: "It's called "Waiting for Spring"!"
